Sobering up ideas

ok...so sometimes I smoke when I drink...no big deal...but my boyfriend hates it...I mainly smoke to sober up a lil so I can mellow out and relax instead of puking. I have no problem to quit smoking but I have no other means of sobering up. Does anyone know any tricks or ways of getting a lil sober after a hard night of drinking. I'm not an alcoholic...this is just a once a month kinda thing.

Drink a lot of water.
One of the main reasons your body flips out when you've had a lot of alcohol is because you are dehydrated.

They also have hangover pills. They used to have them at walmart but I haven't seen them in a while. But you take them before you start drinking and then you dont have as many negative side effects.
